John Fogerty (CCR), although CCR's performance was not released on the film nor the soundtrack. Rumor has it the record company owning their rights couldn't come to an agreement. No surprise there, given all of the legal issues CCR and Fogerty had over the decades with them.

Fogerty is a raging liberal these days, so he would fit right in. Which saddens me because CCR was one of my all-time favorite groups.

CCR definitely developed huge legal (and interpersonal) struggles which led to early break-up of the band and endless bad blood to this day. However, I have read a couple of times over the years that the specific cause of their performance being left out of Woodstock film and album releases was that John Fogerty considered the performance sub-par for them and vetoed its release (he was quite the perfectionist, but maybe also control-freak in the eyes of fellow band members):

"At the wee hours of the night, CCR took the stage for a sleepy Woodstock crowd who had just finished mellowing out to an arduously long performance by the Grateful Dead. John Fogerty of CCR refused to allow the concert to be put on the documentary as he felt that the circumstances created a performance was not good enough to be documented."
